Refugee Crisis

New report by Amnesty International accuses the EU and European governments of being actively complicit in – and helping to fund – ‘violent and illegal’ pushbacks of migrants and refugees from Croatia.

Local authorities in northwest Bosnia are threatening to send thousands of migrants and refugees to the capital, Sarajevo, unless the state authorities assume direct responsibility for them by February 15.

A Croatian watchdog organization on Sunday published video material that it says proves that the Croatian police systematically and violently expel migrants and refugees from the country on border with Bosnia.

Bosnia and Herzegovina has struggled with an influx of migrants and refugees in 2018, but official data shows that there is a low rate of offending among those attempting to transit the country on the way to the EU.
